Can I combine bookmarks? Part: 1

A reader wants to know if she can combine and alphabetize her bookmarks from Firefox and Chrome.

“I have bookmarks alphabetized on Firefox and a non-alphabetized list on
Google Chrome.  Is there any way to combine the two in alphabetical order?”

Yep, you sure can. First, we’ll start with getting your Firefox bookmarks into Chrome and your Chrome favorites into Firefox.

Start by opening Chrome and clicking the three-dot menu icon at the top right. Then click Bookmarks from the drop-down menu.
